Hezbollah claims it has targeted multiple groups of Israeli soldiers and military vehicles in towns and villages across southern Lebanon since dawn, Al Jazeera reports.

The group claims the strikes are in retaliation for the killing and injuring of civilians in “violation of the ceasefire”.

Hezbollah says its fighters struck a group of Israeli soldiers who had gathered in the town square of Taybeh in a “swoop-down attack”. Other attacks happened in the towns of Biyyada, Hula, Deir Siryan, Qouzah and a newly established command centre in Qantara.

Israeli soldiers near a swimming pool in the town of Naqoura were also targeted with “a swarm of attack drones”.
